This really got my daughter practising..., May 14, 2007
This review is from: Gold Medal Gymnastics Drills, Vol. 3: Floor (DVD)
Although my daughter isn't quite as advanced in gymnastics as the girls in this dvd, it has already taught her quite a few things. From just one viewing she picked up a number of pointers and has since then been practising the exercises to the point where she is now slightly ahead of her class. Well worth the expense of importing it all the way to South Africa :)

Nice, June 6, 2008
This review is from: Gold Medal Gymnastics Drills, Vol. 3: Floor (DVD)
I have bought complete set of Gold Gymnastic Drills (first bought Beam and Floor, then decided to buy Bars and Vault too). All videos are great and helpful for coaching beginner gymnasts. There are many nice tips and pointers for drills and conditioning, every drill is explained progressively, step-by-step, moving from simpler forms to complete complex forms (you just have to watch and listen good, and definitely re-play every video in slow motion and/or several times).
These DVDs show limited set of drills, but Amanda Borden explains them quite well - better than many others.
